People trapped in South African mines
In South Africa, closed mines are being operated illegally. Hundreds of people have been stranded in the deepest mines in South Africa for the last several months. In fact, the police had stopped all the supplies there to take out the people trapped in these mines, due to which people started dying due to hunger and thirst. A report in January said that the bodies of 78 people have been taken out. At the same time, 246 people have been evacuated.
